Tyler and Linnette met the modern way, by swiping right on a dating app in 2021. This is the first time this is published, as Tyler likes to say he met her in the bread aisle at the supermarket. Their first date couldn't have been more "Miami" as Tyler picked her up in the loudest Chevy Corvette and took her to Flannigan's on Coconut Grove. Nevertheless, she was happy and excited for all that was coming. (including all picklebacks he taught her how to drink up) The chemistry was instant, natural, and on July 7th, 2021, after a failed attempt to work out together for the very first time, Tyler, with a pulled muscle barely able to walk, officially asked her to be his girlfriend. Linnette knew he was the one, and with a smile on her face, accepted the challenge given the circumstances of officially having a boyfriend who was not only in pain but was about to leave her for a whole year as he was off to Lackland Air Force Base three months after this proposal. Distance didn't damage their bond; it became stronger. She missed him every hour of every day. They wrote letters to each other and waited patiently for the mailman to deliver them, as this was the only method of communicating for quite a period of time. It was exciting, romantic and one of the most unique experiences they've ever lived. While being away from each other, Linnette traveled multiple times to Texas to be able to spend weekends together when possible. She did this for a couple of months until he finally came back home in 2022. Once back, they decided to move in together to continue their relationship and eventually take it to the next level.
